To the ones with anxiety.

It's hard to put it into words, but I think I just did.

To the ones with anxiety.

Anxiety

I worry that you’ll leave me. I worry you won’t stay. I worry that I may somehow be in your way. It’s not your fault that I think this way. I worry about what’s next and the grade on my next upcoming test. I worry somehow someway I won’t be enough and this is a a thought that has never stopped.

I’ve tried restricting my food intake and running for miles but no matter how far I go I can’t get myself to smile. I pinch some skin here and pull some skin there but no matter how much I lose I can’t get those numbers there.

You say that you love me but i’ve been told that before as the person I thought loved me is walking out the door.

I may not be as thin as I’d like but I’ve realized that this is what God wants me to look like.

I worry constantly about what people think of me as I pick and choose those insecurities that stick out to me.

My trust has been erased, dwindled and flushed but I trusted in you as soon as I felt your touch. You know that these thoughts race through my head but never knew how bad until you just had them read.

I love you you say; but my brain tells me no way. He can’t because you're worth nothing and to feel that every time is truly frustrating.

My brain tells me I’m nothing and that’s so hard to bare when the person that loves you is always and forever there.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
